Great point, haha.  I think I'm just going to run with the plastic containers I have and put them inside another plastic container if it fits my layout, else they all stay in my fabric food bag.

Some suggestions would be hard to implement in a small SUV, but I'll look into it. Some nomads on other forums say I'll be fine if I just keep things tidy. *shrugs* We'll see. TY for all the suggestions.

OK, I was afraid someone was going to suggest a sealed gama lid type of storage as containers like that make organizing and squeezing things in all the nooks of an SUV to maximize space challenging.  I've decided to move the flaxseed from the pouch to a hard plastic container with a screw-on lid...

I eat a Whole Food Plant-Based diet.  I'd like your opinion on how I plan to store my food for travel in my SUV to the Southwest this winter.  If I'm cruising for a bruising in terms of inviting rodents, I'd like to know, and I'd also like any suggestions for someone space constrained.  I plan...

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:  Forgot to update here, after speaking with Renogy they stated if the manual called for a 75A fused link, but I only had to choose from a 70 or 80A breaker, go up to the 80A.  Once I installed one all went well.  No heat in the lines or problems with the...

So lots of good advice here. I did not consider local laws differ depending on where I am camped. I'm aware of the humane traps, but I was worried putting out bait (peanut butter or like) might attract unwanted attention before I posted.... looks like there is agreement there. I also was...

I'm considering carrying some traps to the Southwest to put at the base of my two front tires while parked to deter rodents from messing up anything in my engine bay.  The problem is I've never been to the Southwest and I don't know what types of rodents are prevalent, thus don't know what type...

I ordered a clamp-on meter, should be here in a few days. Never knew those circuit breakers were crap, seemed perfect for my build (small, compact, resettable and I could trip them when I want to work on certain parts of the system, and don't need to add terminals to ends of wire). I noted in...

Thanks for the reply. At this point, I don't think it is because I used a breaker over a fuse, but I went with a 70A breaker as I couldn't find a 75A one. I figured it was safer to go lower if anything.  Hopefully Renogy will get back to me and tell me 80A breaker is fine, given that is what is...

Here is my 2016 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid I am preparing to full time in.  The interior has been built out, the panel (not connected yet) is hidden in the roof rack, and I'm trying to finish off the electrical system (12V only, no inverter). <br> Previously I installed the 100AH Renogy Lithium Battery...

This looks up my alley: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Solar-Panel-PV-Extension-Cable-Wire-MC4-Connector-10-AWG-Black-Red-Pair-RV-White-/263925557961?var=563377274457

OK good to know 10AWG wire will work with MC4 cables.  Understood premade stuff may be more cost effective given the amount I need. Any source?  Finding these on Amazon, but don't need the red ones...

Overview: I plan on installing my 200W solar panel on the roof of my white, 2016 RAV4 Hybrid and with the help of a 50a Renogy DC-DC / MPPT charge controller, charging up a 100AH LIFEPO4 battery (Battleborn, Renogy, etc.) for my daily, overly cautious, super-duper draw of 70AH per day.  This...

Thanks for the data point.  Being mobile to avoid the extreme temps was my thinking as well. :)

Such a nice stove... I'm a sucker for all the versions of the coleman dual-fuel stoves. :)  And for the same reasons as you stated, I really would like to use a gasoline stove.  Higher BTU density and cheaper too! I have the same MSR bottle, and yeah, I use a metal spoon to open/shut them, they...

It does indeed have a similar charging system where you can leave it in "ready" mode and the engine kicks on when the hybrid battery is low.  I could indeed work with something like a 12v immersion heater or various other 12v stuff like a roadpro or induction cooktop, but I kinda don't want to...

The inside of my particular cap is metal, but yes the lid is plastic.  As for "that will work", I realize internet advice is worth what you paid for it, but are you saying you would be confident leaving a canister like this inside a 100F car?  Of course there would be fuel in the metal stove as...

Unfortunately larger propane or gasoline canister storage is not an option in my tiny little vehicle. And the fact that the DOT approved refillable 1 pound bottles may not be accepted at every gas station is a problem. but I do have this, do you think this would handle the heat inside a car? I...

Preparing for living out of my RAV4 Hybrid and I have limited storage space.  I'd ~love~ to use my one burner Coleman gasoline/white gas stove as gasoline is easy to find and it has more BTUs than propane, but it's not advisable to store it in a hot car.  I've never filled your typical 20lbs...

I have Google Voice right now on my Verizon work phone.  I'd be reluctant to run a cell phone or tablet purely off any deprioritized ATT or VZW MiFi, as I may need voice in an emergency.  But good food for thought.  Thanks!
